The face is beardless, and it is very white.

Coupled with the eunuch uniform, Zhou An guessed that this should be a certain eunuch in the capital.

"Zhou An, Yu Hang, let me introduce you." Sun Fuling raised his hand and began to make an introduction.

"The one standing in front of you is Gonggong Wei, the head of the eunuchs of our Great Chu State."

After the introduction, Sun Fuling closed his hands.

He thought that Zhou An would be surprised, but he didn't expect that Zhou An's expression was very calm, and it could be said that he was at a loss.

Zhou An was born in Anding County, such a small place, although it was crossed over, but how many things can be known in that small place?

Basically, it can be said that there is a lack of knowledge.

So now when I hear Sun Fuling's introduction, the whole person is blind.

He knew the head of the eunuchs.

This position seems to be in charge of the eunuchs of all sizes in the capital, but he really doesn't know the name of Gonggong Wei.

Not only him, but even Yu Hang didn't know, both of them were in a state of confusion.

Sun Fuling finally understood at this time, and Zhou An really didn't seem to know.

This expression can't be faked.

So he explained: "Grandpa Wei is not only the head of the eunuchs in the capital, but also His Majesty's right-hand man. ”

"Look at the two of us?"

Zhou An was even more puzzled, he felt that such an existence must be a high-ranking person, but why did he suddenly come to see them?

Yu Hang also didn't understand, he and Zhou An stood side by side, and even secretly looked at Gonggong Wei's expression.

Father-in-law Wei took a sip of tea, put the tea on the table, and said in a sharper tone: "Our family came here this time, in fact, to see the two of them, the two of them are now in the whole capital, not to mention the famous, but in some small circles, it is famous." ”

"For example, Yu Hang was able to break through during the exam. This situation is unprecedented, and your Majesty saw that article, and Your Majesty applauded. ”

In the Great Chu State. His Majesty the Emperor's thoughts are actually a sentence, and he regards the people as very important.

On the contrary, for those people in the rivers and lakes, he doesn't look particularly important.

To be precise, in the eyes of the emperor of the Great Chu State, the most important cornerstone of the entire country is the people.

And this article written by Yu Hang is also biased towards the people.

The emperor of the Great Chu State can understand at a glance that there is no flattery in this article, but more of a straightforward expression.

So it's normal to be appreciated.

As for Zhou An......

Gonggong Wei paused for a moment and continued to speak: "Zhou An is not bad, he was able to win the first place in the Yunlai Mansion Dao Casting Competition, and he even cracked the conspiracy here, so that all the people of Yunlai Mansion can be stable. ”

"Your Majesty is even happier when he finds out, our family came here this time to bring you good news."

Speaking of this, Gonggong Wei didn't ramble any further, but took out a piece of letter paper from his wide sleeve.

The letter was folded in half, and the creases were fresh, apparently unopened.

Father-in-law Wei opened the letter in front of everyone.

At this time, Sun Fuling stood aside and arched his hand: "Your Majesty's holy message greets." ”

After the Great Chu State, the emperor of the Great Chu State abolished many of the old systems, especially the kneeling one.

In the eyes of the Emperor of the Great Chu State, it is absolutely not allowed.

The emperor of the Great Chu State himself rose to the end of the micro and was very annoyed by this kind of red tape, so after it was established, this system was naturally abolished.

Zhou An and Yu Hang also followed suit, following Sun Fuling's example, and arched their hands.

At this time, they had not yet been ordained to official positions, so they only said a message of greeting the grass people.

This process is already extremely simplified, but it is still needed.

So when they made this move, Gonggong Wei cleared his throat and read out the contents of the letter.

The content of the letter is simple, first mentioning their specific merits.

For example, Zhou An solved the big conspiracy of Yunlai Mansion.

Then there is Yu Hang, who can write this kind of article, which can be regarded as a masterpiece.

After reading this, I said a lot of words, and then I came to the point.

Yuhang was assigned to a place called Fengkai County, which was considered a relatively prosperous county seat.

It is a great joy for a scholar who has just taken the imperial examination.

Yu Hang agreed without humility or arrogance, the expression on his face was very calm, and he couldn't see any emotion.

As for Zhou An, he did not go to one county, but to another prefecture, and the name of the mansion was Tingyun Mansion.

As for the purpose of going, it is naturally to grasp the mining power there.

Although the minerals have now been granted the right to be mined, the specific things still have to be dealt with by Zhou An.

This time, the separation of the two people was solved.

For this separation, Zhou An felt that it didn't matter.

This position doesn't need to be fought and killed, that is, it is just to be managed, and there must be people under him.

So for yourself, it's naturally a good thing to be able to have more time for liver proficiency.

After everything was done, Gonggong Wei also put away the letter paper in his hand.

He looked at Zhou An, as if he wanted to say something.

Zhou An is a smart person, and he can see it at a glance.

The person in front of him should have a lot of power in the capital, maybe not as much as the three institutions, but it should not be underestimated.

So he arched his hand again and asked: "I don't know what is the matter with Grandpa Wei, please tell me, as long as you can do it in the future, you will naturally do it." ”

In these years, the rivers and lakes and other places have paid attention to a person's sophistication.

Zhou An is indeed a salted fish.

But he was no incompetent vulgar.

It's like there's a saying that you can salt, but you can't dish.

As Zhou An said this, Gonggong Wei nodded: "Please ask Lord Sun and Lord Yu to go out first, I have some important things to talk to Lord Zhou." ”

Sun Fuling and Yu Hang glanced at each other, but they didn't say anything, and the two went out directly.

When Zhou An saw this kind of scene, he felt that something big must be happening.

After the two of them went out, only him and Grandpa Wei were left in the room.

Gonggong Wei pointed to the seat next to him and said please take a seat.

After Zhou An thanked him, he sat down next to him.

Before his butt could sit hot, Grandpa Wei poured him a cup of tea.

Zhou An picked up the teacup, took a sip, then put it down, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Wei, just say anything directly, I guess it should be Your Majesty has something special for me." ”

This situation like the one in front of me must be a secret, and it can't be known to the others, otherwise it wouldn't be the only two of them left.

This time, he came to issue the holy edict, and Zhou An estimated that His Majesty had something important to convey to Gonggong Wei.

The head of a eunuch in the capital is naturally the emperor's right-hand man, and he is also the person closest to the emperor on weekdays.

This is not a trivial matter.

Sure enough, when Zhou An said this, Gonggong Wei said in a very appreciative tone: "I have heard for a long time that the knife in Lord Zhou's hand is very fast, and he is ruthless and extremely powerful, but I didn't expect that he is also a delicate person. ”

Zhou An said politely, and said in his heart that if his mind was not delicate, I am afraid he would not be able to live now.

Even if he has a hanging, even if he is an open hanger, but this step by step, if he is a stupid talent, even if he is given a good hanging, it is estimated that he will have died a long time ago.

Every step seems smooth, but in fact it is very dangerous.

"Gonggong Wei is a master."

As soon as Zhou An's polite words came out.

Gonggong Wei didn't seem to intend to be so polite, so he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhou An: "Lord Zhou, please take a look, after reading it, everything will be clear." ”

Zhou An nodded, opened the letter, glanced at the content on it, and then closed the letter suddenly, with a look of surprise on his face.

"And this kind of good thing."

Zhou An said in surprise.

The content of this letter is about the place of Tingyun Mansion.

Tingyun Mansion is very prosperous, whether it is transportation, or various aspects, it is the best choice.

He didn't expect that the place he had sealed for himself would turn out to be a good place.

He couldn't understand this.

Zhou An asked the doubts in his heart.

As soon as he asked, Gonggong Wei gave an explanation.

"Actually, this is what Your Majesty attaches great importance to you, you should know that this time the matter of Yunlai Mansion is not a trivial matter."

"This deed of yours has already blessed the people of the entire Yunlai Mansion, Your Majesty is a person with clear rewards and punishments, so I will give you a great reward."

Zhou An understood that this was a reward for himself, and he did not assign himself to a particularly remote place.

Actually, it's a good thing for anyone.

Zhou An also thinks it's very good, no one likes to stay in remote places, and it is naturally better to go to a prosperous place.

"In this way, I thank Your Majesty." Zhou An came very hypocritically.

Gonggong Wei took in Zhou An's expression, shook his head and said, "Lord Zhou, there is a sentence in our family, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Zhou An nodded and said, "Father-in-law Wei, it's also hard work to come over this time, you can say anything, there is no need to hide it between the two of us." ”

When Gonggong Wei heard this, he said in his heart that this kid was really good at talking, and he coaxed himself very happy in a few words.

Although he knew that these words were all false, but the fake was very comfortable, and Father-in-law Wei no longer hid it and said his thoughts.

"Our family has also learned about Lord Zhou's temper, and this trip is to say something to Lord Zhou."

Zhou An listened patiently.

Father-in-law Wei paused slightly, a cold glint appeared in his eyes, and the momentum on his body grew rapidly.

After this momentum appeared, Zhou An's eyes narrowed slightly, and subconsciously, he was ready to touch the pink money bag.

The strength of the person in front of him is as deep as the sea, and the momentum on his body is not that masculine, but feminine power.

It's like a deep pool buried under a snow-capped mountain, and you can't see the bottom at a glance.

Just touch it with your hand and it will turn into a spooky ice sculpture.

This feeling is something that Zhou An has never had.

Father-in-law Wei in front of him gave him an extremely terrifying feeling.

Zhou An had just touched the pink money bag and let go of his hand.

The reason is very simple, he feels that Gonggong Wei is not targeting him, he is just a little marginal influence.

Sure enough, Gonggong Wei also seemed to notice it and put away the momentum of his body.

"Our family wants to tell Lord Zhou that if you encounter difficulties, you have to solve them, and if you encounter a knife that can't be solved, you will be chopped."

"If you do get into trouble, try to keep it clean."

It was the first time Zhou An heard this, and he said with a little surprise: "Father-in-law Wei told me to cut people without saying a word." ”

These words shouldn't come out of the mouth of Grandpa Wei.

After all, Gonggong Wei represents the power of the royal family.

If you really cut people without saying a word, wouldn't you violate the laws of the Great Chu State?

Unexpectedly, Grandpa Wei waited for Zhou An to finish speaking, and he really nodded.

"Lord Zhou rose from Anding County, and he has never attacked the people, and our family has also received information from Anding County."

"The people also praise Lord Zhou, such a person, if he is a good person, our family will not believe it."

"And what our family said to Lord Zhou is just our own thoughts."

That's all said and done, what else does Zhou An have to say, he has nothing to say.

Next, Father-in-law Wei was like an elder, and exchanged a lot of experience with Zhou An, and Zhou An also took this opportunity to ask about some news about the second-rate promotion to the first-class.

After all, as a newcomer, his knowledge in this area is really lacking.

Father-in-law Wei seemed to be really optimistic about Zhou An, and he didn't hide it at all, and told Zhou An all the news about the first-class.

Zhou An finally understood why his Qi group was gradually shrinking.

It's condensation, not mere reduction.

As long as it is concentrated to a certain level, the air mass will gradually thicken, and after the viscosity reaches a certain level, it will turn into a solid.

This solid is called Qi Dan.

When you reach the level of Qi Dan, you are a real first-class master.

After Zhou An understood, he said a few words of thanks.

Gonggong Wei is the head of the eunuchs, and he is actually very busy.

He didn't stay long, and after Sun Fulin and Yu Hang came in, he said goodbye and left directly.

Gonggong Wei left the room, and only Zhou An and the three of them were left.

Zhou An asked a little curiously: "Lord Sun, how do I feel that Gonggong Wei doesn't seem to be a eunuch, he has a macho temperament. ”

In the conversation just now, this is the most detailed feeling for Zhou An.

For example, what Gonggong Wei said made him kill whatever he should kill.

It didn't seem like it came out of the mouth of a eunuch.

When Sun Fuling heard this, he sighed helplessly: "That's because you don't know Gonggong Wei's ability when he was young." ”

Zhou An said in surprise: "What did Gonggong Wei do when he was young?" ”

He doesn't have any other hobbies, he just likes to listen to gossip, after all, listening to this thing helps to prolong life.

Sure enough, when he asked, even Yu Hang had an excited expression on his face.

Sun Fuling looked at these two people, and felt that the expressions of these two people were exactly the same, and said secretly, worthy of being brothers.

Only then did he begin to explain: "Gonggong Wei, when he was young, was a first-class master, and he was also famous in the rivers and lakes, and the most important thing for people is the word chivalry. ”

"It can be said that at that time, there was no one in the rivers and lakes who did not value him, but he was seriously injured when he was in the Great Chu State."

"So he became what he is now, in fact, he was an intact person before this, and it was actually very uncomfortable for a person to suffer such a big blow, but Gonggong Wei stopped abruptly."

"I can tell you that the reason why Gonggong Wei was so seriously injured was entirely because he was so seriously injured after beating more than a dozen masters of the same level and killing half of them."

Zhou An gasped when he heard this.

One person fights more than a dozen masters of the same realm, and he should be able to do it.

But he opened the hanging, and Gonggong Wei did the same, which is really strong.

Unexpectedly, after Sun Fuling said this, there was something else to say.

"You know what? This is not the most powerful thing about Grandpa Wei, the most powerful thing about Grandpa Wei is that after he changed his profession, he still cultivated to an extremely high level. ”

"He wasn't originally in this business, but after becoming like this, he directly changed to the eunuch industry, and his current strength. It's hard to figure it out. ”

When Zhou An heard this, he remembered the momentum that Father-in-law Wei inadvertently revealed just now, the kind of horror like a deep pool really made people feel chilled.

"By the way, when are you leaving? I'll send you too. Sun Fuling didn't seem to want to talk about this matter, after all, this matter involved other people's privacy.

He can say so much, which is already a precedent.

In fact, according to the rules, when this official is sealed, it must be opened within three days.

Zhou An discussed it with Yu Hang, and felt that there was indeed nothing else to do in Yunlai Mansion, so it was okay to open it immediately.

And there are three days, so you can finish it all.

The two made a decision, saying that they would definitely open it within three days.

Sun Fuling said that if he was free at that time, he would definitely send him off.

Zhou An and Yu Hang didn't say much, and after chatting a few words, the two of them left because Sun Fuling had other things.

After leaving the mansion and eating some food outside, the two returned to the house.

Yu Hang looked high-spirited and very happy, this appearance was complacent at first glance.

Of course, Zhou An knows that after all, being able to be an official is Yu Hang's dream in this life.

Don't look at Yu Hang's casual appearance before, he actually cares a lot.

Then the two didn't say much, and they did their own things.

Yu Hang went to study, but Zhou An was thinking about what skills he should improve next.

Nowadays, except for the Ku Ding Ox Solving Knife Method and the Fusion Casting Method, which have reached level five, the other skills are all level four.

The only third-level skill is water resistance, and Zhou An plans to continue to improve this skill.

But it seems that the threshold has been reached, after all, after reaching the third level, it is necessary to improve in a new way.

At this time, it was still early, and Zhou An had nothing to do, so he went to the pool in the back, planning to practice.

After jumping into the water, Zhou An tried to swim according to the usual method, but there was no improvement in proficiency.

Then, after a moment's thought, he changed to a different swimming position.

But this pose still had no effect.

Zhou An fell into deep thought, this time it was really not a matter of posture, but that he had not mastered the method of improvement.

He leaned against the edge of the pool, thinking about how to do it.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhou An came to a conclusion.

"Since the swimming form is fine, it is something else, maybe I should try to really resist the water."

Now, swimming has metamorphosed into water, so Zhou An tried to raise his hand and draw a stream of water from the pool.

After drawing out the flow of water, he used the induction of the division in his body, and the flow of water began to transform into various shapes.

But proficiency still doesn't mean to go up.

Zhou An thought about it again, and this time he simulated a knife.

This knife is the saber that you carry with you.

This time, the simulation was extremely detailed, but halfway through the simulation, he felt an indescribable sourness.

He can't simulate something that is extremely detailed.

He thought of the attributes of the skill of resisting water, and among them was the word control.

Since it's control, the more delicate the better.

Thinking of this place, Zhou An began to try it from the position of the knife handle.

But then his attempt failed again.

It's really because the knife is so thin, so it can't be controlled from the fine point at all.

"Maybe I should try something bigger, like the water dragon from before."

Thinking of this, Zhou An tried to urge the water in the pool, and it changed into a water dragon with two people hugging each other.

He began to refine from the position of the faucet.

As long as the dragon is crossed, it knows the specific shape.

Zhou An refined a dragon horn according to the thoughts in his heart, and then, a puff of smoke appeared in front of his eyes.

【Water Resistance+1】

"Sure enough, my approach was right." Zhou Anxin was in ecstasy.

Yushui highlights a royal character, and he didn't think wrong.

With the new method, Zhou An naturally became more interested and began to refine this water dragon continuously.

In fact, it is very difficult to refine it, but every time he is fine, his proficiency will increase by a part.

And as his proficiency increased, he discovered his ability to resist water. I also understand it more deeply.

This made Zhou An, who was the Emperor of the Liver, full of a sense of gain.

So, this liver is a whole night.

It wasn't until the next morning that Zhou An came out of the pool and dried his clothes.

As usual, he went out to eat with Yu Hang as usual, and after he came back, he continued to use the skill of resisting water, which was a full three days.

I also said before that it must be pulled out within three days, and Zhou An and Yu Hang also calculated the time.

When the time was up, he got up early and went out with Yu Hang.

As soon as he went out, he ran into Qi Shuo.

Qi Shuo was holding a large box in his hand, dragging it effortlessly to this side.

When he saw Zhou An and Yu Hang, he greeted happily: "Lord Zhou, Lord Yu, you two are up." ”

In these years, of course, businessmen will observe words and feelings, and now the identities of the two have already changed, so this title will naturally change.

Zhou An nodded and asked, what's the matter?

Qi Shuo said that he came to see him off, and brought some small gifts by the way.

When Zhou An opened the box, he looked at some dry food and stacks of silver tickets inside, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

"Brother Qi, there is really no end to your money."

Qi Shuo laughed: "I don't have any other characteristics, that is, I have a lot of money, and I have to use money to get through a lot of relationships, and the two adults can prepare a little." ”

Someone sent it to the door, and Zhou An naturally had to accept it, after all, this thing can be regarded as an equivalent.

Today's Hengtong Chamber of Commerce is not only popular in Yunlai Mansion, but also outside Yunlai Mansion, after all, it has now made a reputation.

So Zhou An accepted it with peace of mind.

Yu Hang was riding Zhou An's car, and he also received a lot of silver tickets.

In this way, the two of them don't have much demand for silver tickets.

"Lord Zhou, Lord Yu, I won't send each other, many chambers of commerce are really busy." Qi Shuo said with some shame.

Now that the situation is very good, the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce naturally has to make more efforts.

So he really didn't have time.

Zhou An naturally didn't care, and said to Qi Shuo that he would just get busy.

After Qi Shuo left, he and Yu Hang walked towards the city gate.

I thought that this trip would be uneventful, but I didn't expect to meet Zheng Sifu and Sun Fuling on the way.

The two of them also came to send.

So in one trip it became four people.

During this period, everyone also chatted happily, and it was not until they came to the city gate that they left.

There were already two carriages outside the city gate, and these were prepared by Qi Shuo.

Since Zhou An and Yu Hang were in different directions, they naturally prepared two carriages.

Zheng Sifu and Sun Fuling have already gone back, they are all big guys in this Yunlai Mansion, so they are naturally busy.

Two coachmen were waiting patiently.

Zhou An and Yu Hang glanced at each other and hugged each other's fists.

Yu Hang said: "Old Zhou, when I am selected next time, I will try to come to your place, and when the time comes, the two of us brothers will join forces, and we will definitely be like a fish in water." ”

Zhou An also smiled, he knew that his brother had now completed the dream he had dreamed of: "Lao Yu, don't be reckless if you encounter anything after you go, just do your best." ”

Yu Hang nodded, indicating that he would do it.

are all between brothers, and naturally there is no such scene as wiping tears, and the two of them walk very simply.

Zhou An watched Yu Hang get into the carriage, gradually left, and got into the carriage alone.

"Lord Zhou, you are seated!"

The coachman sat down in front and shouted into the carriage.

With a shout, the carriage drifted away.

Zhou An sat in the carriage, opened the curtain of the carriage, and looked at Yunlai Mansion farther and farther behind him, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

Zhou An thought of his experience of starting from Anding County and coming all the way, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

However, he is not a sentimental person, but after feeling for a while, he lowered the curtain, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

……

Time gradually passed, and in the blink of an eye, I passed by many post stations.

When I passed by a few post stations, I also took a break for a while.

The distance from Yunlaifu to Tingyunfu is very long, and it is estimated that it will take half a month.

The coachman is looking for Qi Shuo, and he is also the coachman of the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce, and the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce also has business between them, so after arriving at Tingyun Mansion, the coachman can also rest in the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce over there.

Moreover, Qi Shuo also greeted the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce over there, and when Zhou An passed, everything was very convenient.

This is the current reputation of Zhou An in the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce.

Now the entire Hengtong Chamber of Commerce regards Zhou An as a fragrant bowl.

During this time, Zhou An was not idle, and whenever he went to a place to rest, he looked for the nearest river to practice water resistance.

And after so many days, the water resistance has finally reached the fourth level.

[Water Resistance Lv.4 (Water +2, Control +2): 1/60000]

The water dragon had been simulated to life by him, and he was now trying to simulate something smaller.

He gradually grew smaller from the size of the water dragon to half the size of the water dragon, and his proficiency increased again.

Along the way, the only way to improve proficiency is to take a nap.

When he was on the road, Zhou An went to the river to practice wherever he went.

Now, it is getting closer and closer to Tingyun Mansion, and when it stops at a post station, the voice of the coachman comes from outside.

"Lord Zhou, let's rest for a while, there's not much to go, don't make you too tired."

In fact, Zhou An has been sitting in the carriage, where can it be considered tired?

But the coachman does speak.

Zhou An nodded and got out of the carriage.

At this time, there are not many people at the post station, and they are resting scattered.

He found a place to sit down, and the coachman immediately took out a kettle from the side and poured him a cup: "Lord Zhou, please use water." ”

Zhou An was not polite, and after taking two sips, he let the coachman rest here, and he asked the person at the post station to inquire about the location of the water, and rushed towards that position.

This is his daily routine, if not far away, he will go to practice to improve his proficiency.

Now that he has reached level 4 in the proficiency of the water, he is making the shrunken dragon more realistic.

In this case, it is difficult to keep the part that has been simulated, but also to make the back more detailed, and one careless part will make the front part come to naught.

When he was approaching the water source, he had already heard the sound of the river, and Zhou An quickly approached.

In front of him was a river, much larger than Yunlaifu, and it was flowing rapidly.

And on the river it was quiet, and no one was here.

This situation is just right, no one bothers him.

When he came to the river, Zhou An raised his right hand, and the Qi in his body flowed for a while, and a river was led out by him, drawing a five-meter-long water dragon in mid-air.

In the beginning, it was ten meters, but now it has shrunk by half to five meters.

The five-meter water dragon, the position of the dragon's head is extremely fine, and even the dragon's whiskers are lifelike.

But under the faucet is a blur, as if it is a pure accessory.

Zhou An closed his eyes and began to simulate.

He started with dragon scales, and the water flowed under his control to outline the first dragon scales.

Proficiency was growing, and he began to sketch the second piece.

The outline of dragon scales is actually better than that of a dragon's head, after all, the situation of a dragon's head is more complicated.

Zhou Anzai carefully outlined, if there were others here, they would see a surprising scene.

Zhou An is immersed in his own world and enjoys it.

It was at this moment that he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps approaching.

The footsteps were fast, divided into two parts, as if someone was chasing and fleeing.

The Qi in the body flowed, and the water dragon in front of him disappeared.

Zhou An thought about it and jumped into the river.

Fever, sore throat, so uncomfortable, cough when coding words. The new plot is paving, and all skills will be pushed to level five in the future, which is also the time for Zhou An to have a qualitative change.

(End of chapter)
